    Theatre comes from ancient Greek drama; it has come to us through live performers which in ancient times presented either fictional events or real stories before a live audience in a specific place which was usually called a stage. The content can be divided into historical drama, tragedy, or comedy. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music or dance. Modern Western theatre derives in large measure, from which it borrows technical terminology, classification into genres, and many of its themes, stock characters, and plot elements. [1] The is very critical about the performers. A successful play always comes from strict environmental conditions…

    Theories Of Dramaturgy

    • 2219 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Social interactions in our day-to-day lives are what give society, and the people within it, meaning; this meaning helps us establish the manner in which we interact with others. These meanings are therefore contextual and situational and rely on the individual we interact with, and therefore vary in exact meaning, but are usually already objectified, and socially constructed pre-interaction. We undergo a correspondence between our different meanings until reaching some sort of consensus. These interactions tell us how to respond to our current situation, and more importantly, how to behave in future interactions with a specific individual, or any individual that has similar characteristics; this however becomes…

    Dramaturgy

    • 2011 Words
    • 9 Pages

    As the name suggests, the central principle of this form of analysis is the concept of the drama. Life is a stage upon which performers play. The public performances they make (where public is what is done in the presence of other people or that affects other people—in other words, most acts are public) are what produce meaning. Thus meaning is produced in action. While dramaturgical analysis is generally used to explicate very public performances such as organizational rituals, it can also be used to understand relatively private performances such as the execution of parental roles. The analysis includes not only the act itself but also and, more important, the meaning produced by the act or the messages that are conveyed by the act. Dramaturgical analyses may focus on the display or they may focus on what makes up the display…

There are many forms of theatre Ritual Theatre, uses theatrical techniques of song, dance, and characterization but is still firmly rooted in religion. Many scholars agree on two traits that distinguish theatre from rituals. First theatre must have an actor that plays a character, a person that takes on a role of a human, object, or animal. Second theatre usually has a story with conflict; conflict is the key to all drama. Few religions or social rituals have scripted conflict; many rituals have a prescribed line of events but do not act out a story of conflict.
